NEST Result 2024: Merit list preparation

The ranking of candidates will be determined based on percentile scores from their best three section scores. The NEST 2024 merit list is prepared according to the following criteria:

  • Candidates must score above the Section-Wise Minimum Admissible Score(SAMS) in at least three subjects.
  • To obtain a merit rank, candidates must achieve a total Minimum Admissible Percentile (MAP).
  • In case of a tie, where two or more candidates have the same percentile, their best section scores will be compared. The candidate with the higher section score will receive the better rank.
  • If the tie persists, the tie will be resolved by comparing their Class 12 marks during admission or counseling.
  • If the tie still remains, the younger candidate will be given a higher rank.
